News & Culture

An old broad that enjoys books of all types. Would rather read than write reviews though. I know what I like, and won't be bothered by crap.

Story

I enjoy listening to the news every morning. It usually runs about 55 minutes on average with several US stories, a few World stories, a Journal entry, 2-3 Sports stories and 2 business stories. The best part are the opinions, 3 a day with the best of the Times Paul Krugman, Gail Collins, Maureen Dowd as my favorites.

The narrator is unknown and he does an adequate job. My only complaint would be it's not as loud as my book narrations.

If you are interested in concise summations of the news, then this is a must have. It's free with your subscription and not to be missed!

Back to the Finland Station

In early June, Finns learned that a civilian had put in a bid for a property near a Finnish Defense Force test-shooting range in the town of Taipalsaari, located some 20 kilometers from the Russian border. At first, nothing seemed unusual about this; civilians often live near military shooting ranges. But there was one detail that triggered concern in the Finnish military and government: the prospective buyer was Russian.

Iranian Politics After the Deal

The historic nuclear agreement between Iran and the P5+1 negotiators announced on July 14 is a transformative event for the Middle East, a victory for U.S. nonproliferation strategy, and will surely be one of U.S. President Barack Obama’s most consequential foreign policy achievements.

Why the Ukraine Crisis Is the West’s Fault: The Liberal Delusions That Provoked Putin

Conventional wisdom in the West blames the Ukraine crisis on Russian aggression. But this account is wrong: Washington and its European allies actually share most of the responsibility, having spent decades pushing east into Russia’s natural sphere of interest.

The Calm Before the Storm: Why Volatility Signals Stability and Vice Versa

Instead of trying to predict "Black Swan" events such as coups or crises, forecasters should look at how political systems handle disorder. The best indicator of a country's future trajectory is not a lengthy past stability, but recent moderate volatility.

China's Imperial President: Xi Jinping Tightens His Grip

Xi Jinping’s reforms are designed to produce a corruption-free, politically cohesive, and economically powerful one-party state with global reach: a Singapore on steroids. But there is no guarantee the reforms will be as transformative as the Chinese leader hopes.

This 22-Year-Old Really, Really, Really Wants Donald Trump to Be Our Next President

Donald Trump is loud, rude, insincere; he’s already had three fake runs for president; he’s selling himself as a business genius but has declared bankruptcy four times; his three marriages have been tabloid fodder; he once suggested his daughter was so hot he’d date her if they weren’t related.

The Ghost of Roe

Obergefell v. Hodges, the U.S. Supreme Court case that established a constitutional right to same-sex marriage, is certainly destined to enter the history books as a "landmark", one of those rare cases law scholars and schoolchildren alike study for its profound impact on American society.

A Less Perfect Union

The European Union is an unparalleled historical experiment in governance. There is no other example in modern times of such an intensive effort to establish a peaceful, prosperous political community beyond the nation-state.
